Please reread my first post #24 and you will see that I agree with you about their hypocritical nature when talking about wealth. But we must be very careful to soul search ourselves to make sure we are not falling into the same trap we accuse those who elected Obama of….

Sadly the idea that wealthy people have not gotten their money honestly is also a liberal tactic used to justify redistribution of wealth. Much of the Obama’s cash comes from the royalties he earns on the sale of his books. Many famous authors make money this way. Now you may hate what he wrote and think he is lying commie scum ( as do I ) but in a free market economy where people have the right to decide to buy his books can you really say that his money is not honestly made? What about the heirs of the rich and famous who inherit millions? is that honestly made? what trades are so noble that those who engage in them are allowed to keep what they earn? and who decides what a noble profession is? do you see the problem here?

Look, I am no fan of this couple I think he sees himself as a dictator above reproach ( with the blessings of our lazy and inept congress) but we really must be careful not to become the very thing we despise.

I am not at all concerned about that in this case. I begrudge nobody the wealth they are clever or lucky enough to earn. I firmly believe that the first couple did not come by anything they have honestly. Their wealth derives from Obama’s career as a public “servant” and the sale of books I do not believe Obama wrote. Moochelle’s greatest personal accomplishment was landing the $300K no show job she was hired for because Obama cheated his way into the Senate. I do not believe that either one of these reprobates has ever done an honest day’s work and their entire existence is built on treachery. The fact that these covetous grifters so obviously want to live a “rich and famous” lifestyle and hang out with the wealthy elite makes the way they speak about the affluent even more reprehensible than it would otherwise be. To hell with both of them.
